Blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid analysis in TH and AADC deficiency and the effect of treatment
Background: Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) deficiency are rare inherited disorders of monoamine neurotransmitter synthesis which are typically diagnosed using cerebrospinal fluid examination of ...

Alterations in Monoamine Metabolites in Alzheimer's Disease: A Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid Levels [PDF]
Abstract Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive decline and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The monoaminergic system, crucial for mood, cognition, and behavior regulation, is implicated in AD pathology. Alterations in monoamine metabolites like 3,4‐dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), 5‐hydroxyindoleacetic ...

Novel multimetabolite prediction of walnut consumption by a urinary biomarker model in a free-living population: the PREDIMED Study [PDF]
The beneficial impact of walnuts on human health has been attributed to their unique chemical composition. In order to characterize the dietary walnut fingerprinting, spot urine samples from two sets of 195 (training) and 186 (validation) individuals ...

Thirty-Second Net Stressor Task in Adult Zebrafish
Zebrafish have become a popular animal model for behavioral neuroscience (Gerlai, 2014). Recent studies have demonstrated that brief experimental handling prior to euthanizing animals can subsequently alter biological measures quantified post-mortem (e.g.
